MSNBC is having an on air meltdown over a man their camera crew videotaped openly carrying a handgun at an anti-Obama protest in Portsmouth, New Hampshire this morning near where Barack Obama will be holding a town hall meeting later today.

MSNBC showed footage of the man with the gun openly holstered to his right leg. He was holding a large sign with words about the tree of liberty.

The Portsmouth police chief informed MSNBC the man was legally armed.

The man was reportedly standing with a group of protesters on the property of a church.

More as this develops.

If, as you claim, the “sword” of Luke 22:36 is Jesus’ word - why would you have to sell your cloak to buy it?

More probably it was a Jewish short dagger (Greek: maxairan - Strong’s Number: 3162) used for self defense, not a long sword.

““But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”

Sounds like someone is trying to twist a quote from the Gospel to mean something it doesn’t.

The “sword” Christ is talking about is his gospel.(word)

really-black panthers never had anything happen to them? Open a history book! Plenty has happened to black panthers, blacks, and plenty of other races. They needed shotguns and clubs to fend off the racist police and armed idiots that didn’t want them there due to the color of their skin. I would too if someone wanted to lynch me or beat me to death and throw me in a river somewhere. Seriously, open a history book.

My Internet has been blown out by a thunderstorm all afternoon and evening, so I’m late to the game here.

But dang! It’s nice to see them blowing a gasket over a gun! Strapped on someone’s leg! Out in the open! How much more awful can it be for a leftist? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

If Health Care is now a “Right” that the Gubmint will pay for, will they buy me a new Glock?

After all, the Second Amendment clearly states I have a “Right” to Bear Arms.

Hot Air has a clip of Matthews interviewing the citizen:

Matthews to Obama protester: Why’d you bring a loaded gun to a town hall with the president?

Matthews' characterization of the event included references to criminal intent, general hostility, and conspiracy. The 'citizen', on the other hand, was thoughtful and well spoken unlike an 'attention-seeking dumbass' and 'idiot' described elsewhere here at FR. Matthews' derision ultimately failed, and so fell the arbitrary name calling.

No doubt a Secret Service sniper was poised to bust a cap into his head if he’d reached for the gun while the President was in the area.

DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! Show them what they won Johnnie!

The US Gubmint doesn't do much right, but they have got the common defense part of the Constitution down pretty well. I don't know how the Secret Service does it, nor do I or you need to know how they do it, but God Damn they do an unbelievable job.

President Bush stood out there in the middle of nowhere giving campaign speeches in short sleeves in 2004 during his re-election and despite millions of angry jihadists, not a hair on his head was ever even threatened.

God bless the Secret Service. Much better trained than rank and file suburban cops who would throw grandma against her car hood because she mouthed off.

I think you are quite correct in your assessments with this:

They are criminals against the Constitution plain and simple not just words and metaphors they truly are CRIMINALS AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTION. So it is up to ‘We The People’ to govern our country back to where it belongs. I don’t give a rats butt what the msm portray of all this as they are gonna demonize and discredit no matter what!

This display by an American will not cause anyone to change their minds and suddenly be FOR odumbo’s deathcare, that is just STUPID THINKING! It will shock some and obviously has touched a nerve or two here but really it is only because we have been indoctrinated into fear of even the sight of a weapon or what the intentions of it are. Timing is in the eye of the beholder

INDEED! INDEED! INDEED! INDEED! INDEED! INDEED! INDEED!

The use of union thugs to enforce compliance with Obamacare amounts to the White House running a protection racket. The Outfit truly runs the country now.

Let's see, is it better to be Feared or Respected?

Judging by the way President Bush was treated by the Left for the past eight years, it is obvious the Left will never respect anyone who dares to disagree with their Marxist Ideology, even if they help pass Legislation expanding Medicare or giving Amnesty to Illegal Aliens.

Based on that, I'll go with Fear.

I can’t see any way to stretch the context and sentence to mean what you assert.

And about the following quote, I demand to know who it said it!!! They must be anti-human or something.

.

“But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”

.

TRY SCRIPTURE. . . . AS IN THE HOLY BIBLE:

Luke 22:36
He [JESUS] said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

Now, what curious blather were you asserting regarding the speaker of those words? Perhaps it was satire and I'm not understanding it???

“Anywhere and everywhere citizens can openly carry legally they should.”

I’m with you on this. Let them see that we are as prepared as the original Minutemen were.

The citizen was a very impressive young man...a Constitutionalist. He gave no ground to Sissy Chrissy who had spittle in the corners of his mouth...he was so exercised by an ordinary citizen openly asserting a Constitutional right.

Sissy made a real fool of himself today.

(But why should today be different?)

It’s fun to scare the spineless liberal cowards. They are such a bunch of little pussies.

Good to know where you stand. When someone says "Lead, follow. or get out of the way", where will you be hiding?
